Perfectionism isn’t just about wanting to do well — it’s about feeling like you have to. Like if you don’t get it exactly right, you’ll disappoint someone, lose control, or prove your worst fears about yourself true. It often shows up as constant self-criticism, procrastination, burnout, or an endless cycle of overthinking and second-guessing.

On the outside, it may look like you have it all together — but internally, it can feel like you're barely holding it together.

Perfectionism is often driven by anxiety and a deep fear of failure, rejection, or not being “enough.” And while it may have once helped you succeed or feel safe, over time it can disconnect you from joy, flexibility, and the ability to be fully present in your life.

In therapy, we’ll utilize a CBT-based approach to gently explore where these patterns come from — and more importantly, how to shift your relationship with them. You’ll learn how to step back from the inner critic, take action that aligns with your values, and let go of the idea that you need to earn your worth through constant achievement.

Perfection isn’t possible — but purpose, and self-acceptance absolutely are.
